Sunny Asian Restaurant, Utica, NY

It was time to return to Utica to pick up our glasses.  That meant a lunch out!  We decided to try Sunny Asian Restaurant, 520 Albany Street, Utica, NY.

When we checked out the menu I saw that they had "Bubble Tea".  Now, I'd read about that and it sounded interesting  -  a new experience at least.  I ordered the Honeydew Bubble Tea.



It was delicious and fun and would be fantastic in the summer.
It's a honeydew flavored slurpy with "bubbles".  When I check wikipedia, it says the bubbles are tapioca.  These seemed to be completely flavorless navy blue balls of gummy bear.  It was fun!

The server brought fresh, crispy noodles and a sweet and spicy sauce.

D ordered shrimp with garlic sauce.  These were a handful of shrimp in an excellent sauce with vegetables.  The vegetables, cooked in the sauce, were al-dente, not crunchy, and had been in the sauce long enough to absorb the flavor.  D described the broccoli as the best he had ever eaten!
 


I chose the tofu with lemon grass.  There was quite a bit of ginger in it.  It was excellent.
The onions, peppers, and carrots were also well done - not raw.
(The shrimp on top was from D's plate.) 

I really enjoyed the bubble tea!


We will go back to Sunny Asian Restaurant the next time we go to Utica.
